Chapter 239

"Ah, this..." Looking at the legendary open-hearted gun, Feng Xue's lips twitched slightly.

When he picked up the gun, the camera's appearance vanished, leaving behind a contraption made of electrical tape and various parts, a thing that was hard to even call a gun.

But this very thing has a powerful effect: it can inflict special attacks on those in higher positions and cause instant death.

Undoubtedly, against an enemy of higher status, this gun, capable of loading shotgun shells and killing instantly with just two hits, would be terrifying at close range. However, because it is classified as a gun, Feng Xue cannot use [Arrow Protection] while wielding it.

However, compared to problems that can be avoided through caution and judgment, the biggest problem with this gun is actually the ammunition.

Because there is no bullet-making profession in Infinite City.

After all, consumables are inherently cheap, so even if you create Phantom Object bullets, their value won't increase, which is disproportionate to the time and effort required to make them.

"Looks like I'll have to get ammunition from the real world from now on. It doesn't seem too difficult to get shotguns from Colombia." Thinking of this, Feng Xue felt much better. As for the possibility of accidental damage... he hadn't even considered that, because he had no intention of using this thing as a gun.

The Visage of Oath has the ability to Teleportation directly behind the target. As long as they make eye contact with the target who meets the criteria, they can Teleportation behind them and fire at close range, eliminating the possibility of accidental injury.

After Abe no Hirakiri Ya, Feng Xue began a new round of Reforge.

However, it seems that the luck was depleted due to the great success of the padding, and apart from a few comedic props, there was nothing particularly impressive to be gained. However, from the sudden changes in the elements, he was able to analyze some characteristics of pure [knowledge] in the Reforge process.

First of all, whether they turn into black balls or comedic props, the elements almost never mutate during the Reforge process. Only in very rare cases do a few additional elements appear, and these elements happen to be the elements or Tag that Feng Xue herself originally possessed.

And this is very likely the imprint that these relatively pure [consciousnesses] have acquired, a part that belongs to them.

In other words, if pure [knowledge] is used, the mutation and increase of Tag can be avoided to the greatest extent. Of course, if it is supposed to become a black ball, it still has to become a black ball.

"There are about seventy left, this is the last one." After putting away a bunch of black balls and comedic props, Feng Xue looked at the last small stack of dice and pulled out a full set of armor.

The two clothing-type Phantom Object he currently possesses are both primarily functional. While the Phantom of the Opera's Evening Gown adds stealth and movement abilities, its effectiveness begins to decline sharply after mastering the basics of the Heavenly Sphere Star Shifting Technique a martial arts technique). As for the Unruly Fashion, it only serves to enhance one's overall appearance.

Although Phantom Object all share the common characteristic of being difficult to destroy, that is at most the level of high-grade bulletproof vests in terms of defense. When facing other Weird Tale, they are still inevitably inferior. Therefore, Feng Xue pondered whether she could make a piece of protective gear.

As for the armor hindering movement, Feng Xue didn't care at all. After all, he had the [Orca] power. If the appearance was too bulky, he could just cut it into an orca mascot costume, right?

After carefully arranging the full-body armor with the [Armor] element in front of her and confirming that every part was connected, Feng Xue opened the Golden Finger panel, selected the [Clothing], [Sturdiness], and [Equipment] Trait, and then threw in all seventy-odd dice.

The vortex representing the injection of elements began to appear, and everything seemed to be going very smoothly, to the point that Feng Xue felt it was going too smoothly.

But soon, his expression turned sour, because this thing, damn it, started to shrink.

"Damn it! You said it wouldn't mutate!" Feng Xue watched as the armor slowly shrank to the size of an old-fashioned pencil case, finally stopping, and breathed a sigh of relief.

At least it didn't turn into a black ball.

Only...

"This thing looks kind of familiar?"

Looking at the small, plasticky gadget in front of her, Feng Xue's lips twitched slightly. She felt that the style of this thing was somewhat like Kamen Rider belt, or more precisely, somewhat like the legendary S-Clash Driver that "can squeeze out a person's IQ".

The only problem is that the squeeze bottle, or squeeze jelly, on the belt is empty now.

"Don't mess with me! This thing is useless without a bottle! I'm not Katsuragi Takumi!"

Feng Xue's face was filled with conflict. She immediately brought up the appraisal panel, and the information about the "box" appeared before her eyes:

Name: Phantom Object - Omni-Press Drive

Elements: [Armor], [Equipment], [Sturdiness], [Survival]

Description: A popular toy of the 22nd Century, developed by Bandai, this is the nineteenth installment in their retro series. Its playability and safety have made it a favorite among children and parents alike.

This product can compress the energy inside the jelly bottle to create Kamen Rider Armor. It not only has considerable playability but also strong environmental adaptability, allowing children to enjoy the fun of transforming into Kamen Rider even in deep sea or space environments.

Warning: This product is not a substitute for a professional spacesuit. If you require it, please order the S-Clash Driver (professional version).

Note: This product is only available in general-purpose squeeze bottles. To experience the fun of transforming into the original Kamen Rider, please purchase the original squeeze bottle.

"You fucking tell me where to buy it!" Feng Xue slammed the salt in her hand to the ground, momentarily at a loss for words.

However, toys in the 22nd century...

This description sounds so familiar.

Feng Xue, who had initially thought she had messed up another situation, suddenly felt a flash of inspiration, and her eyes lit up...

"Could it be...?"

He picked up the Transformation Belt and held it to his front. With two clicks, extremely resilient leather straps shot out from both sides, firmly securing the Main Body to Feng Xue's waist.

"S-Clash Driver!"

A loud, cheesy, middle-aged man's voice rang out, Feng Xue immediately pressed down the lever on the side of the driver.

However, it cannot be pressed down.

Not only that, the voice of that chuunibyou (delusional) middle-aged man rang out again, but this time, it lacked the previous enthusiasm and instead sounded like he was expressing helplessness towards a child who started playing without reading the instructions.

"The jelly jar cannot be empty."

"So where am I supposed to get jelly? Am I supposed to make it myself... wait a minute!"

Feng Xue smiled slightly, took the empty jelly bottle, and activated the [Orca] power.

A black and white Tag appeared on the previously blank jelly bottle, with an orca leaping out of the water on it.

I don't know if this will work!

Feng Xue nervously inserted the jelly bottle into the driver and pressed the lever again.

This time, the lever moved!

A beaker-like container with a somewhat plastic-like texture appeared out of thin air, completely enveloping Feng Xue. A gray, semi-transparent gelatinous liquid spread upwards from the bottom of the beaker, completely covering Feng Xue.

"Crushed~flowing~overflowing~~"

"KILLER WHALE IN WEIGHT-D POWER!"

Regarding the concept of Group Supernatural Tale, their formation requires a core, because humans cannot directly use [consciousness]. There must first be a core as a transit point to transform cognition into power, and then transmit it to humans.

This can be compared to plants. Humans cannot directly ingest carbon dioxide, but we can grow fruit trees. Fruit trees convert carbon dioxide into carbohydrates through photosynthesis, producing fruit that humans can then eat.

For example, for the claim that "Yan Country People Know Martial Arts" to be valid, firstly, there must be a "Yan person who knows martial arts (whether it's Weird Tale or not doesn't matter, but it must have the corresponding characteristics)".

In other words, if you want to create the Weird Tale "Shu people riding pandas when they go out", you must first have a "Shu person riding a panda". Then, based on this Weird Tale or Benchmark, gather knowledge, condense the collective Supernatural Tale Entry, ignite the flame, and then the power of this Weird Tale will be distributed to every Shu person, providing each person with a panda for transportation.

Feng Xue is a Yan citizen, and the Yan citizens in the other world are also Yan citizens, so she skipped this step. Otherwise, she would have had to first obtain the Tag of "[Yan]" or "[Yan citizen]", that is, be identified as a "[Yan citizen]" by at least one real person with a very strong sense of identity.

Of course, there are loopholes to exploit; the simplest way is to obtain citizenship and reside in the city.

If you obtain a Yan Kingdom ID Card, then you are naturally a Yan Kingdom citizen. If you settle in Shangshu, then you are naturally a Shangshu citizen.

For example, the "fighting nation" Weird Tale involves throwing a dog and a bear together to fight, filming it, and publishing it. Ordinary people naturally assume that the dog is a Russian bear, and with the "Russian bear" Tag, the "fighting nation" Weird Tale was born.
